Beachgate Bungalows
Close to Fort Kochi’s beach,

Families
Just a short stroll from Fort Kochi’s beach, down a time-worn bylane, under rain trees and amongst lush gardens sits the Beachgate Bungalows. A fully restored heritage property, it consists of independent twin bungalows built in the 1950s for sterling companies in Cochin.
During your stay, you may want to explore the local markets, backwaters, art gallery, cafes or take a cycling tour around the heritage town as the area has a lot to offer.
If you’re looking for a pleasant, intimate place to stay during your time in Cochin in a well-located property filled with character, the bungalows are for you. We can highly recommend them for families as well.
The Rooms
The bungalows house three bedrooms, a dining room, living room and study. The verandah and terrace open out to lush gardens and overlook a private pool. An on-call chef cooks in the fully-equipped kitchen to your preferences and liking, and you can dine on the terrace, by the pool or in the garden.
Aiming to keep history alive, rooms have been renovated to retain their old-world charm.
While they may be quite simple, they are comfortable and spacious, providing all necessary amenities.
